Deserving 5 Star rating - Amazing Mixed drinks
hose007 (Barrie, Canada) on Dec 15, 2024
This resort deserves a 5 star rating but like any resort , they do have areas that can be improved upon. In general this resort far exceeded my expectations. The good: 1. This resort has a tremendous lay-out, the Esmeralda is self contained and everything is close, this includes restaurants, the ocean and of course rooms. The resort is massive, but you don't need to venture to other areas if you don't wish to. 2. Service was top notch, a little spotty in buffet but in fairness, the buffet is very busy. Employees seem happy and go the extra mile, much better than many Mexico experiences. 3. Drinks - I'm not a mixed drink guy, mainly due to drinks being thrown together, however this place serves amazing drinks, they take the time to do it right. There are exceptions, especially around the pools but in general amazing mixed drinks....you have to try the signature drinks in the ala carte restaurants.... outstanding. 4. Beach is special, great swimming and beautiful soft sand, no stones or rocks. Beach is very busy for obvious reasons. 5. Pools - perfect temp and set-up. Pool bar service is well above average. 6. Birds, Somehow they have fixed the bird problem I have seen at many resorts, only pigeons flying around, no other annoying birds other than a couple black birds. 7. Grounds - beautiful and well maintained. 8. Maintenance - perfect, had a couple small issues and fixed promptly. 9. Check in - very efficient, staff well trained and accommodating. 10 Food - very good, buffet excellent and ala carte well above average. No complaints at all. 11. Gift shop - I'm mentioning this only because most gift shops are a rip-off. Many items here are reasonable, it's worth a trip to the village area where the other lobbies are located. Requires improvement: 1. Noise - The entertainment venue is very close to rooms, if your in the 9400 building you will not sleep before 11. There is no reason to blast the music as loud as they do, not to mention club level volume for the kids music in the early evening. The guy who MC's screams at the top of his lungs, it is awful. This resort is well layed out and beautiful, but they missed the mark on this one. They need to reduce the volume level, this is easy to do and would help a little. 2. Pool deck cleanliness - pretty good but could be better, I noticed the same debris for a couple days in a row. That's it, keep up the great work Esmeralda, I'll be back.
Absolutely Fantastic Resort!!!!!

We leave Luxury Esmeralda tomorrow after two amazing weeks. This is our 10th time at Bahia. I’ve read many reviews that have been written and to those who complain or are negative, then you should stay home. The staff here are excellent! The Dominican people are kind, happy and very hard working. They do everything they can to accommodate your requests to ensure you have a marvellous holiday. I am happy to give a special thank you to YIRANDY at the Esmeralda front reception desk. She is smart, efficient and follows through on all requests made to her. What a tremendous qualified individual she is to the Bahia Resort organization. We look forward to seeing her warm smile next year when we come back to Esmeralda. The beach is amazing, clear warm water, big waves to jump, and no fish. The sandy beach is well maintained with no seaweed. The various a la carte restaurants are all unique and delicious! Special thanks to Jennifer and Elizabeth in the breakfast buffet. Also thanks to Madelaine on the beach who kept us well hydrated all day. We are sad to leave our Bahia friends but look forward to seeing you all next year.
